Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine, having a piston head, a piston skirt, and a circumferential recess configured between the piston head and the piston skirt.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a method for the production of such a piston.
  • a piston of this type is known, for example, from DE 44 46 726 A1, and is also referred to as a “piston having a thermally uncoupled piston skirt.”
  • Such pistons are characterized by great strength and by great heat resistance, because of the thermal uncoupling of piston head and piston skirt.
  • Their relatively great construction height which results from a minimum height of the ring-shaped recess, required due to process technology, is disadvantageous.
  • the task of the present invention consists in further developing a piston of the stated type, in such a manner that the construction height is reduced, while the good mechanical and thermal properties remain the same.
  • the solution consists in that the piston has a piston base body and a piston ring element, that the piston base body has at least a crown region of a combustion bowl as well as the piston skirt, that the piston ring element has at least a piston crown, a wall region of the combustion bowl, a circumferential top land, and a circumferential ring belt provided with ring grooves, that the piston ring element has a circumferential cooling channel between the wall region of the combustion bowl and the ring belt, closed with a closure element, that the piston base body and the piston ring element have a circumferential joining seam in the region of the combustion bowl, by way of which seam they are non-releasably connected with one another.
  • an object of the invention is a method for the production of such a piston, having the following method steps: (a) making available a blank of a piston base body that has at least a crown region of a combustion bowl, a piston skirt, as well as a joining surface in the region of the combustion bowl; (b) making available a blank of a piston ring element that has at least a piston crown, a wall region of the combustion bowl, a circumferential recess, as well as a joining surface in the region of the combustion bowl; (c) connecting the blank of the piston base body with the blank of the piston ring element by way of their joining surfaces, to produce a piston blank; (d) reworking and/or finishing the piston blank to produce the piston.
  • the idea according to the invention consists in providing a piston having a thermally uncoupled piston skirt with a piston ring element configured as a separate component.
  • the recess which serves as a circumferential cooling channel in the finished piston, can be worked into the piston ring element in any desired size and construction height, and thus in advance.
  • the piston according to the invention therefore makes it possible to freely select the height of the circumferential recess and thus the construction height, and to keep it as low as possible, if necessary.
  • a preferred further development consists in that the joining seam encloses an acute angle with the center axis of the piston.
  • This configuration allows particularly simple use of a welding method for joining the piston components.
  • beam welding for example laser welding
  • the direction of the exiting weld beads can be controlled in such a manner that they remain outside of the cooling channel and do not impact the closure element.
  • closure element is held on the piston ring element in the region of the ring belt. This configuration allows particularly simple installation of the closure element.
  • the end of the joining seam on the cooling channel side lies outside of the cooling channel.
  • material residues such as weld ridges that might be present are removed in simple manner. Furthermore, it is avoided that such material residues constrict or contaminate the cooling channel.
  • Another particularly preferred embodiment consists in that the free edge of the closure element is disposed above the joining seam.
  • This embodiment allows already closing the recess in the blank of the piston ring element, before it is connected with the blank of the piston base body.
  • the blanks of the piston ring element and of the piston base body are to be connected with one another by means of beam welding, particularly laser welding.
  • the weld beads that occur during this joining method cannot get into the cooling channel during the joining process in this case, and constrict or contaminate it.
  • the closure element can also be permanently attached in the region of the ring belt even before joining.
  • the closure element can also be reversibly or interchangeably affixed before joining, and, for example in the case of contamination with weld beads, can be replaced with a clean closure element subsequent to the joining process.
  • closure element can also be affixed to the piston only after the joining process, forming the cooling channel.
  • the closure element is preferably configured as a one-piece or multi-piece sheet-metal component. In the installed state, its free end can lie against the piston, or be spaced apart from the piston in the form of a gap.
  • the closure element can also be configured as a one-piece or multi-piece spring sheet. Then the closure element can be attached to the piston in such a manner that its free edge lies against the piston under bias, in order to close the cooling channel in particularly secure manner.
  • the closure element has at least one entry opening and at least one exit opening for cooling oil.
  • at least one inlet opening can has a sleeve-shaped guide element for the cooling oil, which element projects into the cooling channel.
  • a guide element can be formed into the closure element, for example, during its production.
  • the present invention is suitable for all piston construction variants according to the claims.
  • the piston base body or its blank can also have part of the wall region, aside from the crown region of the combustion chamber bowl.

  • the piston 10 has a piston base body 11 and a piston ring element 12 . Both components can consist of any desired metallic material that is suitable for joining the components.
  • the piston base body 11 and the piston ring element 12 together form the piston head 10 a and the piston skirt 15 of the piston 10 .
  • the piston base body 11 has a piston skirt 15 that is provided, in known manner, with pin bosses 16 and pin bores 17 for accommodating a piston pin, as well as with working surfaces 18 .

  • the piston ring element 12 has a wall region 19 b of the combustion bowl 19 .
  • the pin bosses 16 of the piston base body 11 are suspended on the underside of the crown region 19 a of the combustion bowl 19 by way of pin boss links 24 .
  • the piston skirt 15 is separated from the ring belt 23 by means of a circumferential, ring-shaped recess 25 .
  • the piston skirt 15 is thermally uncoupled from the piston head 10 a.
  • the piston ring element 12 has a circumferential cooling channel 27 , closed with a closure element 26 , between the wall region 19 b of the combustion bowl 19 and the ring belt 23 .
  • the piston base body 11 and the piston ring element 12 are connected with one another by means of joining, in the exemplary embodiment preferably by means of laser welding.
  • a joining seam 28 is formed in the region of the combustion bowl 19 , which seam encloses an acute angle ⁇ with the center axis M of the piston 10 in this particularly preferred exemplary embodiment.
  • the configuration of the piston 10 according to the invention makes it possible to form the recess 27 a that forms the subsequent cooling channel 27 into the piston ring element 12 in advance, in any desired size and construction height.
  • the piston 10 according to the invention therefore makes it possible to keep the height of the circumferential recess 25 and thus the construction height, as shown in FIG. 1 , as low as possible.
  • FIG. 3 shows an enlarged detail picture of the piston ring element 12 of the piston 10 according to FIG. 1 .
  • the cooling channel 27 is closed by means of a closure element 26 .
  • the closure element 26 can be configured in one piece or in multiple pieces.
  • the closure element 26 is attached to the underside of the ring belt 23 of the piston ring element 12 , in the exemplary embodiment, by means of weld points 29 .
  • the closure element 26 can be connected with the piston 10 by means of any other desired methods.
  • the free edge 26 a of the closure element 26 lies on the back of the wall region 19 b of the combustion bowl 19 of the piston ring element 12 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the free edge 26 a of the closure element 26 can also be spaced apart from the back of the wall region 19 b of the combustion bowl in the form of a gap. If the closure element 26 is configured as a spring sheet, its free edge 26 a can also lie against the back of the wall region 19 b of the combustion bowl 19 under bias.
  • This particularly preferred embodiment of the piston 10 according to the invention includes that the end 28 a of the joining seam 28 , on the cooling channel side, lies outside of the cooling channel 27 .
  • This measure makes it possible to already attach the closure element 26 to the blank of the piston ring element 12 even before it is connected with the blank of the piston base body 11 .
  • This allows particularly simple use of a welding method for joining the piston components preferably a beam welding method, particularly preferably a laser welding method.
  • the weld beads that occur during these joining methods cannot enter into the cooling channel 27 during the joining process, in this case, and constrict or contaminate the latter.

  • Two essential differences consist in that the pin bores 17 are not structured in finished manner in the blank 11 ′ of the piston base body 11 , and that the ring grooves are absent in the blank 12 ′ of the piston ring element 12 .
  • the blanks 11 ′, 12 ′ can be cast, forged, or sintered by means of powder metallurgy.
  • the crown region 19 a of the combustion bowl 19 is formed into the blank 11 ′ of the piston base body 11 .
